I can confirm the non-validity.

What happens is that a few years ago...Sara Jay would have starred in 100 DVDs a year. They would be fresh and new. And she raises her escort and dancing money because she is a star.

This year? Studios have cut back drastically on production in L.A.
So Sara and others only are in the occasional DVD. The "star" factor goes down. So now she can't raise her price for hooking or dancing.

Add to that...the FACT that there is a ceiling for Sara's price at either. A guy MIGHT pay a couple of grand to fuck her because she is a hot commodity. But that would be a peak price which isn't happening now because she isn't able to star in as many NEW productions thanks to gideongalleries buddies ruining studios ability to finance and distribute a new DVD.

But let's just pretend that she can still make the top dollar....Nobody EVER is going to pay anymore than that for a night with a pornstar. Just won't happen. There is only so much that even a wealthy guy is gonna pay for a hooker since he can always just get another less expensive one if he wants.

Same with dancing. There is only so much a girl can make in a night. I don't care if NFL and NBA players are in the club all night long "making it rain"...there is a limit.

There is only so much that one human being can do in a night.

Gideongallery is forgetting that NOW she is seeing her "star" power slowly diminish because of lack of production.

And all the money that she made from shooting a scene. She's probably lost $200,000 a year from the peak.

So now she has to hustle as hard as she can just to get BACK to what she was making before...if she can physically do it.

Loss of shooting revenue, loss of travel AND top dollar to represent companies at the shows here in the U.S. and Europe. And slow loss of earning potential in escorting and stripping.

You know, I've been around "pornstars"/hookers/strippers since the early 1980's. And the entire game is built around the synergy of "fame".

gideongallery has never even seen a girl naked in real life. Much less have any firsthand knowledge of how the game is played or how our online adult industry (which you are supposed to be part of to even be on GFY) works.

I think that Eric needs to have BarryP. take a long look at gideongallery and determine if he shouldn't be banished from here.

Just because he pretends to be one of us by flying an out of date pussycash banner doesn't fool anybody. I say it's time for him to go back to the stolen content/pirate/torrent/ forums where he belongs...

SURFS UP Gideongallery!
